Michelin Tires not available

[whistles_n_bells]

Pete:

If you are doing breakfast/lunch/dinner at a restaurant, I highly
recommend the Tamarisk (Best Western River Terrace) on the east side of
the river south side of highway - directly across from the John Wesley
Powell River Museum. Great food and great service. We use this
restaurant on the Elderhostel tours of the National Parks in Utah. Are
you heading for Canyonlands and Arches?
